Music and xkcd

[sorcyress]

So, I've been busy rereading the archives of xkcd, which *continues* to be the most amazing comic...ever.

And *damn* I want a "Just shy --Not Anti-social!" t-shirt. I may have to get mum to order me one when she gets home. Because that is a beautiful shirt.

*************

So, music babblings. I was gonna do the "Movie soundtrack meme" but it turned out quite lame. SO you get some percentages instead.

I have, at this moment in time, 2980 songs. Which is a good deal of music --9.11 Gigs, or about 6 and 2/3 days.

Of this music selection:

03.22% is Weird Al (96/2980)
04.97% is random, generally Indie, music that Tho has sent me (148/2980)
24.23% is showtunes (722/2980)
03.42% is TMBG (102/2980)
01.84% is related to RHPS (55/2980)
01.51% turns up when I enter the letter "Q" into the searchbox (45/2980)
07.45% is the H2G2 related (radioplays, movie soundtrack, and Marvin songs.) (222/2980)
01.64% is Schoolhouse Rock (49/2980)
03.46% is some sort of Christmasish Music (103/2980)
08.52% has never been played (254/2980)
00.70% has been played more then 100 times. (21/2980)
00.17% has been played more then 200 times. (5/2980)

Any other percentages you'd like to see?

...You know what this reminds me of? My LONG SINCE DEFUNCT project where I was assigning songs to peoples elljays for...some reason. I think it was so I could be "I'm bored. Who's elljay am I gonna read the whole of today?"

At any rate...that activity crashed messily. Haven't touched it at least half a year, maybe more -I've still got Tho unlisted, for crissakes, and he's CERTAINLY rectified that particular musical problem. (((Hum, "Only Anarchists are Pretty" or "Up Against It"? Oh, questions...)))

...also, why is Ms Hecabus listed with Mrs Robinson? I'ma gonna assume she was quoting from it at one point...or...something. Yeeeeeeah. Like I said, WOEfully out of date.

...I'm out. See ya kids later.

Percentage of: 80s songs, those by British artists, over 4 minutes long, under 2 minutes long, between 2 and 4 minutes long, sad songs that make you cry, happy songs that make you glad to be alive. Songs to drink to, songs that can't be sung, songs that must be sung, love songs, hate songs. Songs that make you go hmmm. Songs that may as well be people talking in the rain.

... if you're assigning songs to lj's, I request that mine be from The Beatles.

I was totally obsessed with them in middle school. And high school. Like, to the point of writing the initials of their songs all over my folders for school, and telling all of my friends to the point of annoying them when it was one of their Birthdays. And checking out books from the library about them...

Another person with a o'er large collection of showtunes! Ha ha!

Hey! I want a song for my LJ! Seriously, read away.

Hazy Shade of Winter, by Simon and Garfunkel, I think because I was impressed that you knew the lines well enough to quote them at me at one point.

Hot. I do indeed know the song well enough to quote it, so assume you remember correctly.

I heart that song.

Song for my LJ. Hmmm. Maybe Warren Zevon's "Mr. Bad Example".

It's probably because I harbor a not so secret dream to teach young men the proper way to sex the ladies.

Oh, and I used to have a bus boy at the Roadhouse who begged me for over a year to "pop his cherry".

That's...really quite disturbing, actually.
